Curtis Jones starred as Liverpool came through an incident-packed clash with Chelsea as 2-1 winners to finish the weekend top of the Premier League, a point ahead of Man City.
While Arsenal had lost at Bournemouth on Saturday, fellow title contenders Man City grabbed a win at Wolves to put the pressure on Arne Slot's side in a game which the Liverpool boss called their toughest test yet this season. But it was a test Liverpool passed as they embark on a difficult run of fixtures.
Mohamed Salah struck from the penalty spot midway through the first half and although Nicolas Jackson was eventually deemed onside by VAR for his equaliser three minutes into the second period, Jones flicked past Robert Sanchez soon after to restore the Reds' advantage and ultimately claim the win.
